Thanks to all our guests, audiences, and ourselves! As well as our main man...Thomas Middleton.

    In this penultimate episode of That Is The Question, we talk about pens, ultimately. No, that's not true. We do however talk about Star Wars, censorship, and the Bishop of Something-or-Other. You know, Shakespeare stuff. Listen in and enjoy!

    Patrick Marran is an actor, musician, and arguably TITQ's biggest fan. And he's willing to fight to keep that title. He knows karate, krav maga, and we're definitely not just making up awesome facts about him now to get you to listen. Also he has a pet dragon. Check him out!

    If David Andrew Laws is your favorite podcast co-host, we've got bad news (and you've got weird taste). But if you prefer a head-to-head bout between two of the hardest-working ladies in Shakespeare, look no further. The world is an oyster, this podcast is the pearl, and Sophia Carlin & Roxy Arecco are both armed and ready to open this terrible metaphor. Tune in and enjoy!

    Episode 32 - Sophia Carlin - A James Bond Podcast

    A few disclaimers: 1. We recorded this episode in a big echo-y room but we'll be back to our regular set up next week. 2. David has literally never seen a James Bond movie but we're working on it. 3. Sophia Carlin is a delight (full stop). That's really all you need to know as you dive headfirst into this fantastically filial episode! Enjoy!

    Episode 29 - Brian Gillespie - War of the Sposes

    Brian's back! Back again! Brian's back! Tell a friend. Or two! Or ten! Or, more appropriately, eight. Because this one's aaaaaaall about Henry the VIIIth. Included within this episode are exactly eight facts, eight jokes, and eight clues that will lead you to Shakespeare's hidden treasure. So listen in and enjoy!

    Episode 28 - Emily Gallagher - If It Ain't Broke, Don't Find A New Joke

    This is our twenty-eighth episode of That Is The Question, which means you could start back at the beginning and listen to an episode a month! (If you were listening in February, that is...) But don't do that. Instead, feast your ears on the most magnificent episode to date; this one! Emily Gallagher pulls a Charles the Wrestler on David this episode, but his knowledge of the most celebrated Canadian alt rock band of the mid-90s might just save the day!

    You're going to treasure (for treasure) this episode of That Is The Question. It was a real pleasure (for pleasure) to record. See if you can guess from our very subtle hints what play we talked about with Regina Renee Russell!

    Och aye!! It’s a super-spooky super-Scottish episode today, though somehow we completely avoid any actual Scottish dialects! We talk morality, geography, and funny hats with Anne Whitaker, and the point value at the end of this episode is downright spooooooooky! Listen in and enjoy!

    Episode 24 - Drew Hutcheson - Six Characters in Search of an Induction

    The good news on this episode is that James sounds great! (And, as he says, that's all that matters) David and guest Drew Hutcheson…might need to sit a little closer to the mic next time. But it’s still a delightful episode full of lots of learning, so tune in and enjoy! P.S. Apologies to Antii Arne and Stith Thompson, who are, in fact, two separate people.

    The power couple of podcasting is back! Oh, and Megan Greener's there too. It's a symbolic episode full of syllables and syllogisms about Cymbeline. Listen in and enjoy!

    This episode's coming in just under the "Monday" wire, but it's fresh out of the proverbial oven, so don't burn the roof of your proverbial mouth. But who will take the crown? Will Toby Miller ascend the brightest heaven of invention? Or will David, like himself, assume the port of Mars? (You know what happens when you assume) Listen in and find out!!!

    Let's look at the facts: Joseph Christensen's initials? J.C. Julius Caesar's initials? J.C. We're pretty sure you can do the math and determine this week's outcome. (Or can you?) Beware the Ides of Incorrect Answers in this penetrating episode!
